[QUOTE="Celsus, post: 867881, member: 185674"] Yes, it should work fine again. But please do not switch it on for the first 4-6 hours while you have done the following: - Open all the lids it may have, take out batteries etc. - Shake it extremely well, to get as much water out of it as possible. Tilt it in all directions, so as all can run out. - Then put it on a radiator, potentially on a dry towel (but not warmer than e.g. 40 degrees or so). - Make sure its in a dry room when on the radiator, otherwise it will not dry up. - Every 30-40 minutes, blow it for 2 minutes using your hairdryer, but with the heater off ! - After 4-6 hours (incl drying/blowing cycles) it should be good to use again. Keeping my fingers crossed ! [/QUOTE]
